Documentation

Excerpt

Add support for $ARGUMENTS in Dippy.

tldr pages:

ls ~/source/tldr/pages/*/$ARGUMENTS*.md
cat ~/source/tldr/pages/*/$ARGUMENTS.md

CLI docs:

$ARGUMENTS --help
man $ARGUMENTS

Note which operations are read-only vs mutations.

SIMPLE_SAFE: Always safe regardless of arguments (read-only, no destructive flags). Go to step 3A.
Handler: Needs subcommand/flag analysis. Go to step 3B.

Add to SIMPLE_SAFE in src/dippy/core/allowlists.py and add tests to tests/test_simple.py in the appropriate category. Skip to step 5.

Create tests/cli/test_$ARGUMENTS.py:
